The prior yearEvander Mines cost per kilogram figures were recalculated based on historicalfinancial records to allow for consistent reporting with the group's currentgold operations. Therefore the values may vary from Harmony previouslyannounced values. The Group only began consolidating the Evander Mines resultsfrom 1 March 2013 for accounting purposes.PGE 6E's are platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, ruthenium and iridium.Phoenix Platinum average PGE 6E net revenue price received represents the valuereceived per ounce following refining.Ron Holding, CEO of Pan African Resources commented: "We are pleased with theGroup's operating and financial performance over the last six months.  Theresults affirm our commitment to sustainable delivery. Evander Mines has beenfully integrated into the Group and is performing as anticipated.  In addition,the BTRP has been commissioned, and is delivering ounces at an exceptionalmargin. Despite cost pressures and lower gold prices received, we have improvedprofitability and cash flows".Nature of businessPan African is an African-focused precious metals producer, currently producingin excess of 200,000oz of gold and platinum per annum.  The Company's strategyof investing in long life, high grade operations with attractive margins andlow cash cost profiles has the primary objective of ensuring continued growthin shareholder value.   Any investment project, such as the Evander Minesacquisition, must be either near or at the production stage, which enables theCompany to maintain and improve its resource base and its profit margins.   PanAfrican has a strong statement of financial position that enables the Group tofund all on-mine capital expenditure from internally-generated funds, whilstalso generating a cash return for shareholders in the form of annual dividends.Financial PerformanceKey external drivers of the Group's results:Exchange rates and their impact on resultsAll of the Group's subsidiaries are incorporated in South Africa and theirfunctional currency is ZAR. The Group's books of prime entry are maintained inZAR and, with the exception of product sales, which are conducted in US dollars('USD') prior to conversion into ZAR, business is primarily conducted in ZAR.The ongoing review of the results of operations conducted by executivemanagement and by the board of directors is also performed in ZAR.The Group's presentation currency is GBP, due to its holding Company, PanAfrican Resources PLC, being incorporated in England and Wales and dual-listedin the United Kingdom and South Africa.In the current financial period, the average ZAR/GBP exchange rate wasZAR15.94:1 (2012: ZAR13.49:1), and the closing ZAR/GBP exchange rate wasZAR17.29:1 (2012: ZAR13.69:1). The period-on-period change in the average andclosing exchange rates (a weakening of the ZAR against the GBP of 18.2% and26.3% respectively) must be taken into account for the purposes of translatingand comparing period-on-period results.The Group converts and records its revenue from precious metals sales in ZAR,and the deterioration in the value of the ZAR/USD exchange rate during thefinancial year had a compensating effect on the weaker USD metals pricerevenue. The average ZAR/USD exchange rate was 18.8% weaker at ZAR10.06:1(2012: ZAR8.47:1).The commentary below analyses the current and prior year's results. Key aspectsof the Group's ZAR results appear in the body of this commentary and have beenused as the basis against which its financial performance is measured. Thegross GBP equivalent figures can be calculated by applying the exchange ratesas detailed above.Commodity pricesDuring the period under review, lower gold prices were received for gold sales,when compared to the comparable period prices. Gold prices retreatedconsiderably during the last quarter of the previous financial year ended 30June 2013, which also impacted the average USD gold price received in thecurrent financial reporting period. The Group realised an average gold price ofUSD1,311/oz, a decrease of 22.2% from the USD1,685/oz achieved in thecomparable period.The average ZAR gold price received by the Group decreased by 7.6% toZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg) with the decline in USD prices partlycompensated for by the weakening in the ZAR against the USD.The PGM 6E basket market price (taking into account the prill split) during thesix months ended 31 December 2013 decreased by 7.7% to USD1,122/oz (2012:USD1,215/oz). Phoenix Platinum achieved an average PGM 6E net revenue price ofUSD932/oz (2012: USD1,013/oz), after taking into account the terms of itsoff-take agreement with Western Platinum Limited.The average ZAR PGE 6E net revenue price received by the Group increased by9.3% to ZAR9,380/oz (2012: ZAR8,579/oz). The price was assisted by theweakening of ZAR against the USD.Statement of Comprehensive Income                      Six month ended 31 December 2013  Six months ended 31 December 2012   Movement                       ZAR (millions)   GBP (millions)   ZAR (millions)   GBP (millions)   ZAR    GBPRevenue                        1,349.1             84.6            668.1             49.5 101.9%  70.9%Cost of production             (862.5)           (54.1)          (347.4)           (25.8) 148.3% 109.7%Mining profit                    402.5             25.2            292.1             21.7  37.8%  16.1%EBITDA                           450.8             28.3            259.3             19.2  73.9%  47.4%Profit after taxation            275.9             17.3            166.6             12.4  65.6%  39.5%EPS (cents/pence)                15.11             0.95            11.50             0.85  31.4%  11.8%HEPS (cents/pence)               15.11             0.95            11.50             0.85  31.4%  11.8%Group revenue increased by 101.9% to ZAR1,349.1 million (2012: ZAR668.1million). Evander Mines contributed ZAR565.6 million, Phoenix Platinumcontributed ZAR1.1 million and Barberton Mines contributed ZAR114.3 million,which resulted in a ZAR681.0 million increase in revenue from the threeoperations. Barberton Mines recorded an increase in revenue primarily due to anincrease in gold ounces sold from the newly commissioned BTRP. The Grouprealised an average gold price received of ZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg)and an average net revenue price received for PGE 6E of ZAR9,380/oz (2012:ZAR8,579/oz).The Group's total cost of production increased 148.3% to ZAR862.5 million(2012: ZAR347.4 million). Evander Mines contributed ZAR426.8 million, andPhoenix Platinum ZAR2.3 million to the increase. Barberton Mines' costsincreased by ZAR86.0 million as a result of inflationary increases to miningcosts as well as the incorporation of BTRP costs of production.The table below reflects the consolidated Group's overall gold operations costsper kilogram.World gold council     Units  Six months ended 31    Six months ended 31   Movementcost analysis:                   December 2013          December 2012Cash cost              (ZAR/                269,670                233,021    15.7%                        kg)All-in sustaining cash (ZAR/                312,219                285,327     9.4%costs                   kg)All-in costs           (ZAR/                337,673                344,826   (2.1%)                        kg)The Group's cost of production per kilogram increased by 15.7% to ZAR269,670/kg(2012: ZAR233,021/kg). Evander Mines' cost of production averaged ZAR318,616/kg(2012: ZAR294,172/kg), compared to Barberton Mines' overall average cost ofproduction of ZAR232,611/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg). The main contributing factorto the increased cost of production was the incorporation of Evander Mines'higher average cost of production as result of their current low-grade miningcycle.The Group's all-in sustaining cash cost of production1  per kilogram (includingdirect cost of production, royalties, associated corporate costs and overheadsand sustainable capital expenditure) increased by 9.4% to ZAR312,219/kg (2012:ZAR285,327/kg), largely impacted by marginal increases in on-mine maintenanceand development capital expenditure, a decrease in royalty charges as result oflower gold price received and decreases in corporate overheads as a result ofprofits received on closure of a zero cost collar on the gold price.The Group's all-in cost per kilogram (sustaining cost of production plusonce-off expansion capital) decreased by 2.1% to reflect ZAR337,673/kg (2012:ZAR344,826/kg), primarily due to completion of the BTRP construction whichresulted in lower expansion capital spent in the current period. The all-incost per kilogram reflects the Group's current overall available gold miningand cashflow margins comparable to the average gold price received ofZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg).The Group's EBITDA increased by 73.9% to ZAR450.8 million (2012: ZAR259.3million), mainly due to the inclusion of Evander Mines results (ZAR123.1million) as well as the newly constructed BTRP (ZAR85.1 million).Pan African Resources achieved an increase of 65.6% in profit after tax toZAR275.9 million (2012: ZAR166.6 million), due to inter alia, the followingreasons:- The incorporation of Evander Mines results;- The increase in Barberton Mines earnings as a result of the recentlyconstructed BTRP.The Group's EPS and HEPS in ZAR amounted to 15.11 cents (2012: 11.50 cents), anincrease of 31.4% from the comparable period. The rights issue during January2013 to partly fund the Evander Mines acquisition increased the weightedaverage number of shares in issue by 26.0% to 1,825.6 million shares (2012:1,449.4 million).Notes:1: Cost of production as defined by the World Gold Council.Statement of Financial Position                          31 December 2013        30 June 2013         Movement                           ZAR        GBP        ZAR        GBP       ZAR     GBP                        (millions) (millions) (millions) (millions)Non-current assets         3,817.9      224.3    3,726.2      249.3    2.5% (10.0%)Current assets1              329.1       19.0      401.5       26.7 (18.0%) (28.8%)Total equity               2,608.5      154.3    2,568.8      172.2    1.5% (10.4%)Non-current liabilities    1,269.7       73.4    1,200.9       80.0    5.7%  (8.2%)Current liabilities          272.0       15.7      361.2       24.1 (24.7%) (34.9%)Notes:1.

Evander Mines capital expenditure incurred was consolidated from 1 March2013, therefore the comparable period capital expenditure was attributable toHarmony.Current assets decreased by 18.0% to ZAR329.1 million, as a result of decreasesin accounts receivable and taxation receivable balance. The accounts receivablereduced due to receiving funds for gold shipments from the refinery sooner thanin comparison to the year ended 30 June 2013. The Group's debtor days decreasedto 16 days (30 June 2013: 30 days), due to lower debtor balances in comparisonto the year ended 30 June 2013.Contributing to the increase in the Group's equity is the current period'sretained income, as a result of profit after tax of ZAR275.9 million lessdividends paid of R240.3 million.Non-current liabilities increased by 5.7% to ZAR1,269.7 million, due to anincrease in the Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF') debt. At 31 December 2013, anamount of ZAR200.9 million (30 June 2013: ZAR165.2 million) of this RCF debtremains outstanding and is included in non-current and current liabilities.Current liabilities decreased by 24.7% to ZAR272.0 million. The majority of thedecrease related to the settlement of current payables during the final phaseof the BTRP construction.

Although safety is the top priority at Pan AfricanResources, it is with deep regret that we report two fatal accidents sufferedat Barberton Mines.On 8 July 2013, Elias Mabaso passed away after a fall of ground incident atBarberton's Sheba Mine.On 30 July 2013, Judas Ben Bendani passed away after a fall of ground incidentat Barberton's Fairview Mine.Subsequent to these accidents, employees were counselled and engaged as topossible causes and remedial actions to prevent similar accidents happening inthe future.Barberton Mines' total recordable injury frequency rate ('TRIFR') increased to15.59 (2012: 13.81) per 1,000,000 man hours worked, and the lost time injuryfrequency rate ('LTIFR') improved to 1.56 (2012: 2.16) per 1,000,000 man hoursworked. Due to two fatalities at the operations during July 2013, thereportable injury frequency rate ('RIFR') has shown a regression to 0.94 (2012:0.62) per 1,000,000 man hours worked.Production summary                                              Six        Units     Underground  Tailings    Total                                             months                and surface operations Barberton                                            ended 31                 mining                 Mines                                            December               operations             (Including                                                                                            BTRP)                                                                    Barberton     BTRP                                                                      MinesTons milled -

In ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costs decreased by0.2% to ZAR232,611/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg).The total cost of production increased by 26.5% to ZAR410.4 million (2012:ZAR324.4 million). The main cost contributors were a period-on-period increaseon salary and wages of 19% to ZAR182.9 million (2012: ZAR153.7 million). Theincrease was driven by additional employees for the management of the BTRP andthe introduction of a medical aid scheme for category workers 4 to 8 to whichthe company contributes 60% towards each member's premium. Mining costincreased by 1% to ZAR51.5 million (2012: ZAR51.0 million). Processing costsincreased by 164.1% to ZAR75.0 million (2012: ZAR28.4 million), due to theadditional reagents required by the BTRP. Engineering and technical servicescosts increased by 15.4% to ZAR29.2 million (2012: ZAR25.3 million). Themajority of this increase was for additional secondary support installationsrequired at Fairview mine. Electricity costs increased by 12.5%, which werehigher than the average 8% increase in Eskom tariffs due to the additionalelectricity usage at the BTRP. Barberton Mines security costs only increased by1.5% to ZAR13.3 million (2012: ZAR13.1 million). The mines administration andother costs increased in line with CPI by 5.5% to ZAR15.4 million (2012:ZAR14.6 million).Barberton Mines' combined all-in cash cost decreased by 14.4% to ZAR295,134/kg(2012: ZAR344,826/kg). This decrease was mainly as a result of once-offnon-sustainable capital invested in building the BTRP which ended during July2013.Mining operationsBarberton Mines (excluding BTRP) gold sold increased marginally to 45,405oz(2012: 44,926oz). Mining operations tons milled decreased by 4.2% to 149,589t(2012: 156,106t). The decrease in tons milled was mostly due to a decrease of5,655t in surface stockpiles processed.The underground head grade remained relatively constant at 11.5g/t (2012: 11.3g/t), supported by improved recoveries of 92% during the biox processing (2012:90%).The total underground and surface USD cash costs per ounce decreased by 8.1% toUSD787/oz (2012: USD856/oz). The ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costsincreased by 9.2% to ZAR254,506/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg).Tailing operations - BTRPThe BTRP construction was completed during June 2013 and commissioned on 1 July2013 for accounting purposes.BTRP gold sold was 11,603oz for the period. The plant processed 343,137t oftailings at a headgrade of 1.7g/t and achieved a higher than expected recoveryof 60%.The BTRP USD cash costs per ounce were USD454/oz.

Miningoperations tons milled increased by 3.6% to 311,497t (2012: 300,555t). Theincrease in tons milled was mostly due to an increase in surface stockpilesprocessed of 19,437t, whilst underground tons milled decreased by 8,495t.The underground head grade decreased to 6.2g/t (2012: 6.6g/t), despite improvedrecoveries of 97% (2012: 95%).The total cost of production increased by 2.5% to ZAR426.8 million (2012:ZAR416.4 million1). The Evander Mines management team have focussed oncontaining their costs whilst in the lower grade mining cycle. The main costcontributors were a period-on-period increase in salary and wages of 7.4% toZAR221.4 million (2012: ZAR206.1 million). The salary and wages increased asresult of the Chamber of Mines wage settlement, which averaged 8% for EvanderMines employees. Mining cost increased by 11.0% to ZAR19.2 million (2012:ZAR17.3 million) due to additional vamping occurring in 7 Shaft. Processingcosts increased by 13.4% to ZAR50.9 million (2012: ZAR44.9 million), due to theadditional tonnages processed through the plant. Engineering and technicalservices costs increased by 11.5% to ZAR23.3 million (2012: ZAR20.9 million).The majority of this increase related to additional costs to improve on themaintenance of infrastructure and the trackless fleet. Electricity and watercosts increased by 4.1%, this was lower than the average 8% increase in Eskomtariffs due to lower underground tonnages processed. The security costsincreased by 40.7% to ZAR8.3 million (2012: ZAR5.9 million) as result ofadditional security costs allocated from Harmony to Evander Mines in relationto old closed shafts. The mines administration and other costs decreased by60.5% to ZAR13.4 million (2012: ZAR34.9 million) as result of not sharing inHarmony's corporate and exploration costs in the current year.The total underground and surface USD cash costs per ounce decreased by 8.8% toUSD985/oz (2012: USD1080/oz). However, in ZAR per kilogram terms, total cashcosts increased by 8.3% to ZAR318,616/kg (2012: ZAR294,172/kg1).Note:The prior year Evander Mines values were obtained from historical financialrecords to allow for consistent reporting with the group's current goldoperations costs. Therefore the values may vary from Harmony's previouslyannounced values.Capital expenditureTotal capital expenditure at Evander Mines was ZAR74.8 million (2012: ZAR108.8million). Maintenance capital expenditure was ZAR16.3 million (2012: ZAR34.2million) and development capital expenditure was ZAR58.5 million (2012: ZAR74.6million).Review of platinum tailings operationsReview of Phoenix PlatinumSafetyPhoenix maintained its excellent safety record, with no injuries recorded.Operating performancePhoenix Platinum PGE 6E ounces sold decreased by 4.8% to 2,987oz PGE 6E (2012:3,136oz PGE 6E). Production at the Phoenix Platinum Chrome Tailing RetreatmentPlant ('CTRP') was affected by furnace ash and talc material which washistorically deposited by on the Buffelsfontein dumps.  Furnace ash and talcdilutes the final concentrate grade and must be chemically modified to stop anegative effect on the recoveries. The problem was identified by a process ofelimination and by metallurgical test work carried out. The CTRP is operatingwithin the strategic plan objectives since December 2013 with an estimated 500PGE 6E ounces lost during the period under review as a result of thedifficulties described above.The CTRP was designed to treat sulphide material from the Lesedi Mine, whichinitially supplied Phoenix Platinum with sulphide-rich material. However theferrochrome producer subsequently stopped its underground operations at Lesediand is now mining only oxidised material from their open cast section. Thisresulted in oxidised tailings being blended into the Phoenix Platinumfeedstock. The metallurgy of oxidised tailings negatively affects the recoveryand concentrate grade in the CTRP. This in turn results in poor PGM concentrateproduction.The effective average PGE 6E basket price received increased by 9.3% ZAR9,380/oz (2012: ZAR8,579/oz). Cost per ounce of production increased primarily as aresult of lower ounces produced by 15.7% to ZAR8,484/oz (2012: ZAR7,334/oz ),additional costs were also incurred on metallurgical test work to mitigate theeffect of reduced recoveries achieved as a result of talc identified in thetailings processed. The plant feed decreased during the period by 14.7% to118,259t (2012: 138,561t).Six months ended 31 December:                        2013    2012Plant feed - Lesedi                  (t)                   -  15,826Plant feed - IFM opencast            (t)               5,898  42,755Plant feed - IFM toll                (t)              20,816       -Plant feed - Buffelsfontein dumps    (t)              91,545  79,980Plant feed - Total                   (t)             118,259 138,561Head grade                           (g/t)              3.80    3.72Plant recovery                       (%)                  24      22Chromium(III) oxide (Cr2O3)          (%)                2.47    2.53Production and sales of PGE 6E       (oz)              2,987   3,136Basket price received                (ZAR/oz)          9,380   8,579Total cash costs                     (ZAR/oz)          8,484   7,334Total cash costs                     (ZAR/t)             214     166Capital Expenditure                  (ZAR millions)      0.2     1.0Capital expenditureTotal capital expenditure at Phoenix Platinum decreased to ZAR0.2 million(2012: ZAR1.0 million).Near-term productionEvander Tailings Retreatment PlantThe Group has undertaken to finalise a feasibility to upgrade and rehabilitatethe CIL tanks of the Evander Mines Kinross plant, to create additionalprocessing capacity to treat 200,000 tons per month of tailings.The project pre-feasibility results are positive with an average headgradeestimated at 0.33 g/t, at an estimated recovery of between 38%-42%. Based oncurrent estimates, the project could initially produce approximately 10,000ozof gold per annum. The capital expenditure is projected to be approximatelyZAR190 million with a construction period of less than 12 months to first goldproduction.The project will leverage off the current plant infrastructure and labour,which will result in a marginal increase in the cost per ton to process theadditional tailings.AurochMinerals NL ('Auroch')Auroch is an exploration company focused on developing and exploring the ManicaGold Project ('Manica') in Mozambique. Manica was previously owned by PanAfrican Resources and after its sale to Auroch during January 2013, Pan AfricanResources received 42% of the issued share capital of Auroch. During thereporting period, the Group consolidated ZAR1.4 million of Auroch's explorationand corporate costs incurred and disclosed on the Statement of comprehensiveincome under 'Loss in Associate'.The Group announced on 26 November 2013 that Pan African entered into anagreement with Auroch on 25 November 2013 in terms of which:1. Auroch shall pay Pan African an amount of AUD 2,000,000 in cash, as full andfinal settlement of the Transaction Purchase Consideration and FutureConsideration ('Cash Consideration') as follows: Auroch shall pay Pan AfricanAUD 150,000 of the Cash Consideration by no later than 30 November 2013; andAuroch shall settle the remaining portion of the Cash Consideration by 1 March2014 ('Payment Date'), but may extend the Payment Date by a further 2 months bypaying Pan African an amount of AUD 50,000 per month of extension prior to thePayment Date, as extended, and such payments shall serve as part payment of theCash Consideration; and2. if Auroch settles the Cash Consideration in accordance with the amendment,Pan African shall allow Auroch to reacquire or cancel the Consideration Sharesat no additional cost or consideration.In the event that Auroch fails to settle the cash consideration pursuant to theamendment, the amendment will expire and the provisions of the OriginalAgreement will be restored. Any payment made under the amendment would remainnon-refundable. Should the original agreement be restored Pan African would beentitled to enforce settlement of any outstanding debt and potentially recoupthe exploration project due to non-settlement of Auroch's current liability toPan African Resources.CommitmentsThe Group's commitments have been presented in both ZAR and GBP for ease ofreview for both UK and SA shareholders.The Group had no contingent liabilities in the current financial year or prioryear.Commitments reported in ZARThe Group had outstanding open orders contracted for at period end of ZAR32.6million (2012: ZAR334.5 million).Operating lease commitments, which fall due within the next year, amounted toZAR0.11 million (2012: ZAR0.46 million).Commitments reported in GBPThe Group had outstanding open orders contracted for at period end ofGBP1.9million (2012: GBP24.4 million).Operating lease commitments, which fall due within the next year, amounted toGBP0.0065 million (2012: GBP0.038 million).Basis of preparation of financial statementsThe accounting policies applied in compiling the interim results are in termsof International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and consistent withthose applied in preparing the Group's annual financial statements for the yearended 30 June 2013.The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute theCompany's statutory accounts for the half year ended 31 December 2013.The interim results have been prepared and presented in accordance with, andcontaining the information required by IFRS on Interim Financial Reporting,International Accounting Standards ('IAS') 34.

We focus on sustainableprofitable ounces and not merely to increase ounces produced or to increaseresource ounces.The acquisition of Evander Mines has effectively doubled the size of ourcompany. Evander Mine's 31.6Moz of gold resources offers significant expansionpotential and optionality for our Group. The meaningful contribution fromEvander Mines during the last six months, despite the mining activity movinginto a lower grade mining cycle, further demonstrates the quality of thisasset.During the period under review, we successfully commissioned the BTRP atBarberton Mines, within schedule and on budget. The BTRP tailings operationsupports Barberton Mine's reputation as a long-life, low-cost gold producer.Production from Barberton Mines will continue to under pin the Company'sprofitability by sustaining its gold production and well controlled costs.We are pleased to have reached agreement with Auroch on a possible transactionregarding our interest in their company.  Even though we have confidence in theAuroch management team and in the Manica project, the investment is no longer afit with Pan African's profile, and finalising this transaction would benefitour shareholders.The final six months of our financial year is likely to be challenging,particularly given the bearish sentiment regarding USD gold prices andinflationary pressures that we can expect from the weakening ZAR.  The lowergrade cycle at Evander Mines will also now be in full force, and will impactproduction as well as cash unit costs.   We will continue to seek ways ofmitigating this situation to continue to deliver returns to shareholders.Pan African is also well positioned to take advantage of acquisitionopportunities that the current climate is creating.Our thanks again go out to all the staff of Pan African, for their dailycontributions that continue to drive our success.Ronald HoldingChief Executive OfficerCobus LootsFinancial Director19 February 2014Financial Statements: Summarised financial informationConsolidated Statement of Financial Position at 31 December 2013                                                    31 December 2013  30 June 2013  31 December 2012                                                         (Unaudited)     (Audited)       (Unaudited)                                                                 GBP           GBP               GBPASSETSNon-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment and mineral rights         186,421,320   209,489,677        66,373,510Other intangible assets                                      241,093       340,484                 -Deferred taxation                                            227,991       312,798                 -Goodwill                                                  21,000,714    21,000,714        21,000,714Investments in associate                                     707,114     1,199,071                 -Rehabilitation trust fund                                 15,667,223    16,973,713         2,574,825                                                         224,265,455   249,316,457        89,949,049Current assetsInventories                                                6,517,923     6,595,740         2,023,413Current tax asset                                            272,718     1,479,339                 -Trade and other receivables                                7,990,615    13,904,416        10,720,089Cash and cash equivalents                                  4,250,619     4,768,916        48,301,167                                                          19,031,875    26,748,411        61,044,669Non-current assets held for sale                             185,078       213,191        12,145,808TOTAL ASSETS                                             243,482,408   276,278,059       163,139,526EQUITY AND LIABILITIESCapital and reservesShare capital                                             18,278,972    18,228,342        14,512,623Share premium                                             94,724,429    94,515,562        48,940,879Translation reserve                                     (42,941,677)  (22,166,345)       (6,438,756)Share option reserve                                       1,036,890     1,031,955           958,932Retained income                                          104,625,492   102,005,124        71,784,224Realisation of equity reserve                           (10,701,093)  (10,701,093)      (10,701,093)Merger reserve                                          (10,705,308)  (10,705,308)      (10,705,308)Equity attributable to owners of the parent              154,317,705   172,208,237       108,351,501Total equity                                             154,317,705   172,208,237       108,351,501Non-current liabilitiesLong term provisions                                      13,224,945    14,821,152         2,939,853Long term liabilities                                     11,817,447    11,132,960           652,356Deferred taxation                                         48,390,525    54,049,440        11,428,288                                                          73,432,917    80,003,552        15,020,497Current liabilitiesTrade and other payables                                  14,815,975    23,202,052        39,260,503Current portion of long term liabilities                     915,811       864,218                 -Current tax liability                                              -
